>>11789249SHOULD'VE DUCKED ROUNDEYE!NOW YOU DIE!At the japan group build.Not sure if finished or if i shall add some weeb runes / decals and beige dust ?
>>11789405
>>11789407
>>11789405put anime girls on it
got a kitty almost two weeks ago. kinda forgot how little respect they can have for personal space, had to build a door to the shop to keep him out so I can get back to modeling.
>>11789515Lame, mine sniffs glue with me (and is in love with the airbrush for some reason)
>>11789515>>11789958My bunny has a strange sense of territory. The PC and the workbench are my domain, so he doesn't go near it, just stares at me from afar.
>>11789958you have to let your cats smell whatever you're doing, it makes them feel involved.
>>11789958Mine is terribly offended by the smell of acrylic paints and tries to knock them offHe is kind of a dumbass and takes another sniff to be offended again
>>11789958I dont think you understand how little chill the kitty has. If he sat and observed it would be fine, but he's climbing my shoulder and licking my bald spot
what do you guys think of fictional paintjobs?I just got the IJN Mutsuki and Hiei and I'm considering painting them after the Japanese Coast Guard.white hull and green deck combo looks nice, but it might not work on a battleship...
Made this test of most of the Vallejo metal color range if anyone finds it useful. They're all painted on top of model air black which is matt so I assume there's more shine to gain from using a glossy color. This is all indoor lighting under LEDs so results may vary and they're just point and shoots with a phone camera. >>11790123Literally do what you want with model kits. That's the beauty of them. You don't have to paint everything light ghost grey and wank over accuracy if you wanna make a coast guard one do that and have fun with it. What's the point of spending all this time on making something you don't actually want to make...?
Ninja engine is in the frame. Breddy damn happy with the frame colour.
>>11790134Very nice, are the wires part of the kit or DIY?
>>11790134are bikes autistic like cars, or are they fun?
>>11790359It's all included! Two diameters of tube, screws, screwdriver. Even a small piece of mesh.>>11790401I find them a lot more enjoyable than car kits, depending on manufacturer of course. Tamiya bikes are excellent no matter the age of the mold. Racing bikes with lots of decals are a universal bastard though, same as cars.
>>11790401If it's full-fairing where you can't see shit just the body work like with cars, then yeah, it's autistic. If it's a grandpa bike where you can see all the mechanical parts then it's based. t. done zero (0) motorcycle kits
>>11790515I do have the brand new CB1000f in my stash as well that i'll be building next. a mix of autism and based bikes on my shelf.
>>11790125Thank you. I shall keep these and use them. I'm still only using AK super chrome for actual chrome though.
>>11789249it's been awhile, I did a thing for the group build but the picture I used was kinda not great. I have a better pic but still wanted to use my previous submission as well. it's the IJA tiger; I submitted a collage before. anyway here is the better picture.>>11789405>>11789407>>11789411he cute
>>11789249>>11790664also I haven't built any armor lately, been way too distracted with maschinen krieger. I built my first diorama and posted it on /m/ awhile back. not sure if anons in this bread would be ok with ma.k.
>>11789958I know that I usually post completed models as is the case for OP, but how would you guys feel if I posted a pet with a workbench one thread.I would like for it to be one of yours, so feel free to share, if you think this is a good idea.
>>11790125Very useful comparison of application. Thank you, spoonman. You are a credit to the general.
>>11790667Did the type 11 even have a mounting point? I thought it was bipod exclusiveFictional vehicle obviously so it's not a complaint, I'm just curious
